[dart-dio] Support DioX

[josh-burton]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Dio has been forked by another group of Flutter developers, with the intention of more active development and maintenance.

cfug/dio#1607

An option to generate a DioX Client, or perhaps migrating entirely to DioX would be great.

[kuhnroyal]

Yeah, I am one of those maintainers :) I will give it 2 weeks or so to see how it goes before doing anything. Also still looking for a way to wire the diox adapter into Dio. Not sure if that is possible yet.

For the first 6 months, you can use diox as a dio's fork by using dependency_overrides, see the README,

[kuhnroyal]

Yea but I don't think we should generate a pubspec with a dependency_override.
I think it will have to be a generator option wich in theory should only affect imports for the moment.

[josh-burton]

I did a quick proof of concept replacing the dio import, and it seems there are breaking changes with diox. Things like DioOptions timeout durations have changed type.

@josh-burton if it's behind an opt-in flag it shouldn't be a problem that it will have breaking changes

[joshburton-assetowl]

well the output doesn't compile, so additional customisations would be required.

[AlexV525]

This can be converted to support the latest dio.

[kuhnroyal]

Yes, will do that
